Two different people have contacted me asking if I am involved in a United Nations project related to equipping developing countries with open software. Each of these people had been contacted by someone claiming that I am involved in such a project and using my name to encourage some action. In one case the action was buying ads in a publication theoretically related to this UN project.

Such a project sounds like a good idea. Nevertheless I am not involved in any UN project. Anyone claiming I am is incorrect — perhaps honestly confused, perhaps intentionally making misstatements.
